Facilities are set up so that no devotee faces any issues.
 

There is an atmosphere of joy in Uttar Pradesh and in the entire nation. I have come to Ayodhya to inspect all the arrangements. We have made all kinds of arrangements and we are prepared to conduct this historic festival on January 22nd with full grandeur and in a safe manner.
